both laptops are a lost cause..both are crap..
I know the HDD is bad in one of them...I can hear it sometimes when it spins down.
The other one, no clue what it could be...supposedly overheating, but it's turned off only twice on me in like 3 months. Also it only has 256mb RAM, that's an even bigger problem with it.

My electric bill was becoming excessive. Closing my farm saved roughly 120 USD per month. I now chose directly donate monies to my key causes.

His wife was/is battling cancer. He got to a point where running his business and taking care of the kids and her, got to be too much for everything he was trying to do. Somethings had to be put on the back burner.

By the weekend I should be folding again after a very long time of not folding at all. New computer will be assembled some time on Thursday and then it will be time to move back up the ranks hopefully
I'm folding on the PS3 now... I'll leave it run while not playing (at least until it breaks)..
